The 1987 Dodge Shadow: Scratch repair
Searching for scratch repair for the 1987 Dodge Shadow? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
About your Shadow
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Driving while yours is in
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
How long you are without it
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
On the day
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
